Does anyone here know about this? My body feels very different every other month, especially sore breasts.

Are you charting, using OPK, or a monitor of some sort? Any of these things could help you to determine if you are Oing every month or every other, etc.

I've been using OPK, so I know I spike around day 13 every month in a 28 day cycle. Other ladies on here told me that is not enough to tell if I am actually ovulating. It seems like every other month I have sore breasts, a little nausea, and a sorta bloated feeling in the 2ww. It's as different as night and day, and wondered if this could mean I'm not ovulating every month or if there is something wrong with my luteal phase. I am headed to the doc on May 5 for a consult... I'm wondering if it's an age thing, if others have experience on this, or if it's in my head!

I was just gonna say that if you're not sure with the OPK's then you should ask your doc about it. They can monitor if you are every month or not. Good luck at the visit!

If your ovulation switches ovaries every month, which Ibelieve is normal, then maybe one is somewhat more active, or one is actually inactive- that would explain the difference in symptoms.

It's not quite every other month, but in the last six months or so, I've also been experiencing nausea, and other symptoms, during my luteal phase, thinking I'm pregnant, and turns out I'm not.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I just assumed that my hormones are a little off during those months.
